Oh I am aware about all that’s going on with indigenous natives in the US. We have them in Australia too. Greed and arrogance has brought us to this point where extinction rate of species is 1000x that of normal extinction rates. If we weed this planet of everyone save for these natives who respect the land and the ocean, there will be hope to revive the earth we so fondly desecrate.
